Whether you’re busy helping Mum with the festive baking or staying up late catching up with relatives over a game of mahjong, now is the time to streamline your makeup routine to make it as fuss-free and painless as humanly possible.
Here’s a suggestion: Skip the precision winged tip and gun for a sexily sooty rim of kohl that will look “artfully” smudged and lived-in as the day progresses – with no real effort on your part!
Try the new Intense Colour Supersoft Kohl Pencil from Collection Cosmetics, which delivers on every promise implied in its name: It’s cheerfully colourful, meltingly soft and blendable and allows you to recreate the grungy kohl-rimmed look that was all over the Spring 2014 runways.
Available in a suite of six statement-making shades, we’re particularly enamoured with French Kiss (above), a citrusy zing of lime green that will help to disguise redness and fatigue while framing your face with a bracing jolt of neon colour. For the less adventurous, Birdy Song is a deliciously warm chocolate that will add depth and dimension to a neutral sandy lid.
The stay-true pigments are complemented with a blend of skin-friendly emollients for a soothing finish, and are waterproof to boot. Collection Cosmetics says the pencils should last the entire day – just what we need for pulling off Lunar New Year all-nighters!
Collection Cosmetics Intense Colour Supersoft Kohl Pencil, $12.90 each, is available at selected Watsons stores, BHG and the latest pop-up store at Cineleisure. For more information, visit www.collectioncosmetics.com.sg and follow Collection Cosmetics Singapore on Facebook.
